At most, we are guilty of ineffective supervision...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh.\" A glint of coldness flashed through Li Changyao's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still eating her pastry, she remarked casually, \"I understand. The general idea is that your Ethereal Immortal Sect has nothing to do with this matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If our Li family elders can't even look after our own children, how could we possibly blame your Ethereal Immortal Sect? That is the logic, isn't it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a gentle tone made Immortal Master Qi Yue's heart skip a beat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Changyao, that is not what this humble one meant. This humble one...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand those messy affairs of yours all too well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding a pastry, Li Changyao slowly rose to her feet and walked out the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immortal Master Qi Yue followed, cold sweat streaming down his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Changyao said indifferently, \"All these years, the Ethereal Immortal Sect has been running circles behind our Li family and the Zhao Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You don't want to offend either side, but if we really count it up, you still lean toward the Zhao Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Life isn't easy for anyone these days, and for your Ethereal Immortal Sect, being right next to the Zhao Clan, it's even harder. I understand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Changyao had finally spoken reasonably for once, yet Immortal Master Qi Yue's expression grew even uglier. \"No... Miss Changyao, what are you doing with that bow?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Changyao tested the bowstring. Seeming not to hear Immortal Master Qi Yue's words, she took out an iron arrow inscribed with various seal scripts, radiating the aura of a supreme-grade spirit artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She continued speaking as if to herself, \"However, there is something I don't understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your Spirit Mountain only permits cultivators below the Golden Core stage to enter and compete. So how did several Golden Core cultivators from the Zhao family pop up inside?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tell me, which bastard let the Zhao family's Golden Cores in?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Changyao, I...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terror filled Immortal Master Qi Yue's eyes, but the words stuck in his throat as he froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly remembered the few traitors who had been executed just before he arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder—no wonder the Supreme Elder had to get involved in this matter and mediate between the two families!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Changyao, this humble one knew nothing of this matter!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must be that someone within the sect accepted bribes from the Zhao family and let the Golden Core cultivators in to seize the Heaven and Earth Spirit Spring!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immortal Master Qi Yue was drenched in sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Divinity Transformation aura—the very same that had once turned him into \"Little Yueyue\"—surged from Li Changyao's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her Dharma Body, infused with icy qi, caused frost to spread throughout the Li family main hall, and a bone-chilling cold radiated from his feet to the top of his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You seem sincere enough, so I'll give you a chance. Escape from my Merit City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You'd best have the skill to do it; otherwise, I won't leave your Ethereal Immortal Sect with even a chance to continue its lineage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having spoken, Li Changyao held the pastry between her thin lips, nocked an arrow, drew her bow, and gathered her spiritual power!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Changyao, Changyao...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killing intent—boundless killing intent mixed with the icy wind in the hall, drilling into his bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Changyao was not joking; there was murder in this woman's eyes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was truly enraged. A person like her wouldn't care a whit about the Ethereal Immortal Sect or the Immortal Zhao Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flee!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Daoist Puci, I'll screw your ancestors for eight generations!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immortal Master Qi Yue's furious roar echoed through the skies above Merit City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Summoning every ounce of skill he had learned in his life, he gathered his spiritual power and fled frantically toward the city's perimeter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the whistle of an arrow, every cultivator in Merit City frowned and looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spiritual power of the arrow formed a pillar of ice that pierced the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>High in the sky, a miserable scream rang out, and blood dripped down along the pillar of ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the common folk tending the fields in Merit City all paused their work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the farmers, Prince Feiheng, his face obscured by a bamboo hat, wiped the sweat from his brow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Narrowing his eyes, he murmured, \"Something has happened to the Li family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside Merit City's Inner City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wine Maniac was drinking in a tavern. His wine gourd was still raised high, but the wine spilled from the corner of his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He blinked, then, realizing a beat too late, frantically caught the dripping liquid and licked his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did he curse under his breath, \"Damn it, time to get to work again. Old Zhuo, bring me wine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the counter, Zhuo Linlin frowned and waved his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yinming, dressed in the garb of a waiter, brought the wine over with a face full of disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old beggar, you've owed money for this wine for a long time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh, are you afraid I can't pay up?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wine Maniac glared, pointing at the conspicuous pillar of ice outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The people of the Old Li family have made a move right inside their own home. That means the trouble outside has grown massive. The time to make a fortune has arrived.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You opportunistic old coot.\" Gu Yinming rolled his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After cursing under his breath, he walked to the counter and said to Zhuo Linlin, \"Boss, only the Immortal Zhao Clan could make the Old Li family this angry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuo Linlin pulled his hood down to cover his face. \"Cut the crap. I want some peace and quiet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I...\" Gu Yinming's mouth twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just wanted to discuss whether they should make a run for it or what, but the Boss wouldn't listen to a single word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gritting his teeth, he ran to the back kitchen, where he saw the Old Man chopping vegetables.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since moving to this kitchen, the Old Man's temper had grown increasingly explosive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he saw Gu Yinming, he lashed out with a kick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Scram, scram, scram! The kitchen is a restricted area; don't taint it with your corpse qi!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Running out of the kitchen with a crestfallen expression, Gu Yinming arrived in front of Dongfang Xuan's calligraphy and painting shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the bustling market, Dongfang Xuan remained as tranquil as ever. Yet, upon arriving here, Gu Yinming couldn't utter a single word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Dongfang Xuan was painting a picture right there in the busy market. The scroll depicted Merit City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It showed the farms filled with spirit seedlings and spirit medicines, like a paradise beyond the mortal world; it captured the vibrant smoke and fire of the human world, so rare in these chaotic times; and it portrayed the simple, honest common folk who lived in harmony with the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yinming sighed endlessly as he walked back to the restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I fear that once we step out of this Merit City, there will be few peaceful days left. Where else could we find a place like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Donate on Ko-fi ➡️ [https:\u002F\u002Fko-fi.com\u002Fdarktea] ⬅️\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Get Early Access to 70 Chapters: Search for \"Dark Tea\" on Ko-fi (Explore tab) and join my membership to read ahead!\u003C\u002Fp>",1275,"2026-06-02T11:48:16.712Z",1,"novelbin.me","2f0dd8a42b98a19b758cafd27305394bfde57f1427b5c7fbd96e312962f70b25","family-management-game-in-immortal-continent-chapter-779","family-management-game-in-immortal-continent-chapter-777",870,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffamily-management-game-in-immortal-continent-cover.jpg"]
